Q: 1:03 PM 2/24/2019
I am increasingly concerned about the financial stability and credit quality of several of my investments.
Could you please provide the S&P or DBRS issuer rating or bond rating of : ENB, TRP, PKI, BCE, CSW.A, AW.UN, SIA.
This information is very difficult for me to find and is often quite dated. Could you suggest a source I could use.
Thank you........... Paul K

Q: I own all of the above in roughly equal weights in my TFSA. I am attempting to replicate your Balanced Equity Portfolio. I am also trying to get more defensive. I think I am overweight in the Info Tech sector. I am looking at a 5 year hold. I have cash to buy another position. What would your advice be - hold the cash or make a purchase. If purchase what would be your recommendation for defensive position?

Thanks for your help.

Q: Hello,
I hold TRP 5%, FTS 4%, ENB 3%, EMA 1.2%, PPL 1.2%, & AQN 1.2% in my accounts. I plan to increase the smaller holdings to about 2% each. I like these stocks for their dividends and their international diversification. Are these 6 utilities reasonable choices as long term holdings or should I look elsewhere?
Would you please rank them.
I am way past my retirement age but do not relay on the dividend income from these stocks.

Thank you,

Werner

Q: Good Morning
Raymond James lowered their IPL target to $20 from $23 today with an underperform rating. The Street target is $25.
Do you foresee another fiasco with a substantial dividend cut like we saw with Alberta Gas? Would you recommend holding the stock or selling?
Thanks

Q: I have been a long term holder of POW and have become frustrated with the performance of the share price and dividend increases. I am interested in replacing it with ENB, BIP.UN, or IPL ? I accept that these companies are in different sectors. It seems the Demarais family cannot enhance shareholder value despite the multiple voting shares they hold. Thanks. Joe

Q: Hello, I am looking at making some adjustments to my portfolio over the next few months as I am concerned about the possibility of the next recession perhaps coming by the end of 2019 or early 2020. I would appreciate your recommendations for some defensive stocks which would weather a recession without too big of a drop. I already hold ENB, FTS, BNS and TD which I intend to keep but am looking to replace some of my other stocks with more defensive names.
thanks for your advice.

Q: Hi, please comment on my method of transferring unwanted volatile stocks (nflx,vgt,itx,vmd) to safer div. options. I have placed 5% trailing sell orders with a 2% limit until sold or cancelled in order to capture more upside in this likely short bull rally.
Please suggest your best 5 core div. names in Canada, USA and international.
Please use appropriate number of question deductions.
